You Better Wash Your Hands After Playing Tool's Stinkfist! (How To Play Guitar Lesson)

Get ready for some disgustingly dirty drop D action along with some sore fingers as we make our way through playing Tool's Stinkfist on our guitars. I have no idea how the guys in Tool remember how to play all their songs...

Loving your work Ryan…your explanation/simplification of how to count the chorus was super helpful!

[@RyanLendt]

woohoo!

Once again the master pulls a track out of the favourite bag mmm no.1 teacher.

i hope you never shave your beard mr squid.

Seen Tool in New Orleans last February was one of the best concerts I've ever been too.

Awesome as usual Ryan. Great song to learn and you made it look simple. Great 😊

[@RyanLendt]

thanks ricardo :)

[@zoranroth9599]

Awesome Ryan thanks for this lesson Great Band Tool Hope you are well cheers Zoran.

[@RyanLendt]

thanks buddy :)

[@SlowToe]

Thanks for taking on this one Ryan. Tool are a great band but maybe a bit intimidating for us intermediate guitar players. Time to upset the neighbours in different time signitures 😊

[@RyanLendt]

yeah and this is one of their more tame ones...

[@fenderfox5080]

This is great Ryan, playing this on the acoustic today😊 might turn into a good campfire cover

[@RyanLendt]

I would have to devote about a month to this to memorize it :)

[@fenderfox5080]

@@RyanLendt I can't play out anywhere these days without having lyrics in front of me lol, back in the day I could memorize all the lyrics and guitar parts when I was in Mr Breeze Band but my memory isn't what it used to be. You definitely should put this in your song list for your live shows, my absolute favorite is PUSH IT, I've never really heard anyone do it acoustic though😬

[@chadwickgaines3600]

Love me some tool. Appreciate you sir

[@RyanLendt]

thank you sir.

My self restraint is commendable

Thanks bro

Welcome bro

[@arottie4097]

W0W! I'm glad there wasn't a quiz after this one! Grrr.

[@RyanLendt]

no joke!

[@DaveTaste]

This may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to F Major.

nice

Hey Ryan, big fan...taught me a lot of great tunes (thank you)... just curious, I always thought, and I've seen Tool about 15 times (completely obsessed with them in my twenties - isn't Danny Carrey the best drummer - anyhow) and i learned this song a long while ago, that Adam only hits the 2nd fret dropped-D string once with a "wiggly" (for a lack of better words) bend and then D (5th fret A string). I - in my amateur-ism - am definitely not an authority on guitar but I'm pretty sure I only hear one hit during the intro (with the big bend still on the 4th time) ***UPDATE EDIT*** --- You can check out an EXCELLENT vid here on KZbin called "TOOL - Stinkfist Front Row Live Atlantic City" the person filming is right I front of Adam -- GRRREAT view of what he's doing.

[@brettbelanger8634]

Sorry for that....

[@RyanLendt]

hello brett - doesn't sound to me like we're disagreeing, just that you'd have muted it more than I did :)

[@johnpaulclarkson4671]

Oh yes

[@RyanLendt]

:)

[@michaelavarice]

Miscreant fist 🖤🤘❤️

[@fenderfox5080]

Anything off Aenima is easier to play and cover, they are still pretty dam hard to play though lol, Adam is such a great guitarist. Do you think they wrote everything the way they did so we have a harder time learning their songs 😆 🤣

[@RyanLendt]

that's exactly what I think.

[@kvstrickland]

Well hello dark lord 🤘🤘🤘

Be careful what you say that's how my cat gets summoned
